Important Installation Instructions
1. Install the gate operator only when the
following conditions have been met:
• The operator is appropriate for the type
and usage class of the gate.
• All openings of a horizontal slide gate
have been guarded or screened from
the bottom of the gate to a minimum
of 4 feet (1.25 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2.25 inch (55 mm) diameter
sphere from passing through openings
anywhere in the gate or through that
portion of the adjacent fence that the
gate covers when in the open position.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated
or guarded.
• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2. The operator is intended for installation on
gates used by vehicles only. Pedestrians
must be provided with a separate access
opening.
3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when
opening and closing, the gate must be
installed in a location that allows adequate
clearance between the gate and adjacent
structures. Swinging gates shall not open
outward into public access areas.
4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure
that the gate has been properly installed
and that it swings freely in both directions.
Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or
pressure relief valve to compensate for a
damaged gate.
5. User controls must be installed at least 6
feet (1.83 m) away from any moving part
of the gate and located where the user
is prevented from reaching over, under,
around or through the gate to operate the
controls. Controls located outdoors or those
that are easily accessible shall have security
features to prevent unauthorized use.
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Never let children operate or play with the
gate controls. Keep remote controls away
from children.
• Always keep people and objects away
from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid
object or when an object activates a non-
contact sensor. If necessary, adjust the
force or the limit of travel and then retest
the gate operator. Failure to properly
adjust and retest the gate operator can
increase the risk of injury or death.
• Use the manual release mechanism only
when the gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have
a qualied service person make repairs to
gate hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles only.
Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

B614 4 532297 - Rev.D
6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located
within line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of
the reset control shall not cause the operator to
start.
7. All warning signs and placards must be
installed and easily seen within visible
proximity of the gate. A minimum of one
warning sign shall be installed on each side of
the gate.
8. For gate operators that utilize a non-contact
sensor (photo arm or the like):
• See instructions on the placement of
non-contact sensors for each type of appli-
cation.
• Exercise care to reduce the risk of nuisance
tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the
sensor while the gate is still moving.
• Locate one or more non-contact sensors
where the risk of entrapment or obstruction
exists, such as at the reachable perimeter of
a moving gate or barrier.
9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor
(edge sensor or similar):
• Locate one or more contact sensors where
the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists,
such as at the leading edge, trailing edge,
and post mounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
• Locate hard-wired contact sensors and
wiring so that communication between
sensor and gate operator is not subjected to
mechanical damage.
• Locate wireless contact sensors, such as
those that transmit radio frequency (RF)
signals, where the transmission of signals
are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar

The product is identified by the plate (3).
2.7 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The B614 is an electromechanical barrier with a E614
electronic board built in. The B614 must be installed
on the specific foundation plate and set onto a plinth.
RH/LH barrier The B614 can be easily installed as a right
hand or left hand barrier without having to do any
major modification the its structure.
It's reccomended to install the barrier with the door
towards the inside of the property for easier access.
Thebarrierisdefined bylookingatitfromthedoor side:
- RH barrier (right): the arm closes towards the right
(in a clockwise direction)
- LH barrier (left): the arm closes towards the left (in
an counterclockwise direction)
Self-Locking gear reduction To allow manual operation,
use the provided release mechanism.
Encoder The B614 has a built in encoder. The encoder
constantly detects the precise position of the arm and
makes it possible to manage the end of movement and
slow downs stored with the set up.
Anticrushing operation The encoder allows the board to
implement an anticrushing feature:
-the detection of an obstacle during closing causes
the movement to be reversed
-the detection of an obstacle during opening causes
the arm to stop.
Adjustablepositive stop The barrier has built in adjustable
mechanical positive stops to set the end of opening
and closing movements.
Equipment A rectangular arm can be installed. The
components necessary for the installation and the op-
tional equipment are listed in the dedicated sections.
Balancingsystem One or two balancing springs must be
used to balance the arm. The use of single or double
springs depends on the length and configuration of
the installed arm.
!The balancing system is important for safety reasons
to ensure the stability and control of the arm during
movement and keep it operating properly over time.
Master-Slave Configuration The configuration of two bar-
riers that open in opposite directions can be achieved
with the Master-Slave configuration.

lowing conditions are present, to ensure a safe and
reliable installation of the B614 barrier operator.
!There is firm ground to support the weight of the
barrier with flat, horizontal paving. There must be no
chance of water accumulating in the installation area.
For the installation of detection loops, refer to the
specific instructions.
There is a safety area between the wall (or other fixed
element) and the end of the arm, to protect against
the risk of people becoming trapped/crushed.
There are safety areas between the fixed and moving
parts to prevent hands from being crushed.
There is enough working space for the installation
activities and subsequent maintenance operations,
bearing in mind the opening of the service door
and the positioning/removal of the cabinet and any
other elements.
There are no fixed or mobile obstacles to the move-
ment of the arm (e.g.: branches, overhead cables,
ceilings).
If the installation area presents the possibility of
vehicle impact, provide adequate structures to protect
the barrier body.
3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
3.1 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS

B614 15 532297 - Rev.D
3.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
F Always shut off the power supply before performing
any work. If the disconnect switch is not in view,
apply a warning sign stating “WARNING - Mainte-
nance in Progress”.
! All wiring and connections must comply with the
current applicable electrical code.
The power supply line for the operator should be on
a dedicated circuit and under a circuit breaker. The
metal parts of the enclosure must be grounded. The
electrical cables of the operator must be of a size
and insulation class that is compliant with current
electrical code and laid in appropriate rigid or flexible
conduits, either above or below ground.
Use separate conduits for the power supply and the
12-24 V control devices / accessories cables.
In the case of a Master-Slave configuration, a cable
conduit has to be installed for the cables that connect
the two electronic boards.
Check buried cable plans to ensure that there are no
other electrical cables in proximity to the planned
digging/drilling locations to prevent the risk of
electrocution.
Check that there are no pipes in the vicinity as well.
The location of the power disconnect breaker should
be easily accessible and marked.
The conduit fittings and the cable glands must prevent
the entry of moisture, insects and small animals.
Protect extension connections using junction boxes
with an IP 67 protection rating or higher.
The overall length of the BUS cables must not exceed
330ft (100 m).
The barrier must always be visible to prevent it from
being hit accidentally; an adequate lighting system
is required.
It is recommended to install a flashing light in a visible
position to indicate when it is moving.
For the installation of detection loops, refer to the
relative instructions.
The control accessories must be positioned in areas
that are always accessible and not dangerous for
the user. It is recommended to position the control
accessories within the field of view of the operator.
Comply with the following heights from the ground:
- control accessories = minimum 59.05 in (150 cm)
- emergency buttons = maximum 47.24 in (120 cm)
If the manual controls are intended to be used by
disabled or infirm persons, highlight them with
suitable pictograms and make sure that these users
are able to access them.

4. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
F Always perform the work with the power supply
disconnected.
F Mark off the work site and prohibit access/tran-
sit. Before the barrier is fixed to the foundation there
are risks of tripping and falls.
When working inside the enclosure there are risks of
cutting, shearing, crushing hands due to the presence
of moving parts. Until the installation is completed,
the partially installed barrier must always be left
blocked and with the door and upper cover always
closed to prevent access to the electronic parts and
the moving mechanical pars.
Never install the arm before securing the barrier body
and checking it.
Until the installation is complete, never leave the
barrier unguarded with the arm mounted. If the
arm is mounted, the barrier must be locked with
the arm open.
If installation is outside, it must be done in good
weather without rain or gusts of wind. If it is
raining, an adequate shelter for the barrier must be
made until the mechanical and electronic installation
is complete.
Never handle the barrier by holding the control
board support.

4.2 INSTALLING THE FOUNDATION PLATE
FAlways perform the work with the power supply
disconnected.
!The barrier installation is facilitated by the use the
optional foundation plate.
-The blueprint appended to this manual that gives the
characteristics of the foundation is approximate. The
bluprint considers the barrier applied to the maximum
limits indicated in this manual and under the most
arduous conditions. The installation engineer is
responsible for the evaluation of the foundation mate-
rials and dimensions on the basis of the characteristics
of the ground and place of installation. Perform
structural calculations where necessary.
1. Dig the hole in the ground. Fill it with concrete,
allowing the cable conduits to protrude.
2. (8) Assemble the base plate.
3. (9) Immerse the base plate in the foundation
leaving the surface exposed.
!The plate must be in the centre of the plinth.
The hole for the cables to pass through must corre-
spond with the orientation planned for the barrier
(barrier side, door side).
The cable conduits must protrude from the hole in the
plate by approximately 8 in (20 cm).
Check the plate is horizontal using a level.
Clean the concrete off the surface of the plate and
the nuts with washers so they can be removed when
necessary.
4. Wait for the concrete to set.
